New, Canal Wanted at sault Ste. Marie.

Montreal Gazette: If the present rate Of
development in the Lake Superior trade
continues the construction OF new canal
at the Sault Ste. Marie, which Canada has
undertaken half as a matter ofself-defense.
will be regarded within a few years as a
matter ofnecessity. 1t is almost impossible
to conceive the change that has taken place
in the conditions OF commerce in the near
Northwest. In 1881 there passed through
the American canal vessels OF :; freight
tonnage OF i, 567,741; in 1886 the figures
were, 4, 527, 1853. Last summer the average
number OF vessels passing through was
forty two a day, many OF them OF the
largest class. The growth OF the mining in
dustry will,in the immediate future, call for
an annual tonnage OF 100000 in addi-
ton to that now employed, while the grain
trade OF Duluth and Port Arthur is des-
tined steadily to Increase. So evident is
this that American papers are calling for
an enlargement Of the exciting canal. to
meet already perceived requirements. The
construction OF the Canadian canal will be
justified, therefore, by a regard for the
needs OF our commerce, without consider.
alton OF contingencies that recent events
have mande possible, though not, it is
haped, probable.

that the treaties OF the government
with the Indians guarantee to them
the possession OF their lands and this
guarantee has been held sacred. It is
now proposed to give each Indian
family a large farm and open the rest
of their reservations to settlement.
This would give about 4O,O0O,OOO
acres to civilization. It remains to
he seen whether the Indians will &C

Congressiaan Springer on Division and Admis-


Interview in Washington: I have never
been opposed to the Omission OF Dakota
as o state, having always been satisfied
that she had the requisite population and
that her financial and business conditions
were satisfactory. The cutlery that has
distractions which / made in the question
as it appeared before congress, and have
been charged with opposing Dako-
ta's interests in a blind and big.
oted fashion. What I was re-
ally opposed to was the division OF the
state, and not it's admission. The matter
OF a division on the forty.sixth parallel,
or the forty-seventh standard parallel. or
any other hne, OF that kind is nonsenscal
and purely without logic and the whole
thing was based upon jealous feeling ex-
listing between North and South Dakota

mission whatever. 1t was cemented to it
and always bhrust forward with it in a
way that would not allow even the friends

by the Missouri river into two parts, or
on some other north and south line. This
would throw the unpopula;ed counties
and the great Sioux reservation together
and leave the wcll-settled parts OF the ter
ritory to become one state. When Dako-
ia asks for admission in this way she will
not be refused it. She will really have the
first consideration at the next congress-
As far as political questions are concerned,
am not inclined to think they had any
particular weight with our party in refus-
ing this request OF Dakota. The way in
which she came forward and demanded
not only admission but the setting off for
this proposed state OF tlae best part OF the
territory, and leaving the northern portion
out, without consulting with this section
in any way whatever, did not recommend
itself to us as the best way OF doing things
1t raised antagonists to begin with, and
when we began to consider tlis question
and refuse to make this division, and to
acknowledge the pseudo state already es-
tablished and at once admit it before any
authorized action OF the people, with it's

last congress, concluded that it was lit

Destructive Cloud Burst.

At Oberlin, Ohio, Sunday afternoon the
9TH during thunder storm which swept
over the northern part OF the state, much
damage was done by a cloudburst, or
waterspout. When the storm was at it's
height an immense volume OF water came
down suddenly, swelling to a raging tor
rent the little creek which flows through the
town. The stream rose several feet within
few minutes. flooding streets, fill
ing cellars, and in many cases driving peo-
pie to the upper stories OF their dwellings.
One house was ioated from it's foundation,
and havoc was played by the water in two
lumber yards. Three hundred feet OF the
Lake Shore railroad track was washed
away and one passenger train was stopped.
The flood subsidized almost as quickly as
it came up. 1t is impossible to tell now
the exact amount of damage, but it will
probably be $50, 900 or $4,000.

Protests Against Exorbitant Freight Rates.

Several petitions have been presented to
the Minnesota railroad commission agent,
eNorbitant freight charges the first OF these
was filed by Senator E. NJ. Pope OF Man
kato and was from the Business MEMS AS
ISOLATION OF Minnesota. The second
was filed by w. II. Kelly of
Owatonna for the Boards OF Trade
Union OF Owatonna, Faribault Dundas,
Northfald and Farmington
The Owatonnas protest that theMilwau-
kee corporation is and has been charging
from eight to ten times as much per ton
per mile for carrying wheat from said cit
les and towns to St. Paul as is charged for
carrying wheat from st. Paul to Chicago.
Senator Popes petition is based on
complaints against excessive freight charg-
es on the general local tariffs.
Railroad Commissioner Gibbs said OF
these petitions:
The commission has received two OF
these, but, under the law, before consider
ing them must send copies to the Milwau-
kee road and give it twenty DAYS in viii CHI
to prepare for a hearing. This will be
done. After that time has elapsed
the hearing will be had. The bottom fact
in the railroad business OF this state is that
in St. Paul and Minneapolis is one city of
$780, population. The railroads must
recognize that they have become a great
trade center, and rates into st. Paul must
be the same per ton per mile as out OF St.
Paul. There is no reason why railroad
should charge more from Albert Lea to
Waseca than it does from Waseca to AL
bert Lea. The city and county are united
on this issue. The railroad theory that
we must pay tribute to Chicago must be
abandoned. The trade center is here.

Death Of Ex-yiee President wheeler.

Ex-Vice President William A. Wheeler
died on the 4th at his home, Malone, N. Y.
Mr.. Wheeler, whose vitality had been de.
creasing SLOWLY through the past six years,
retained his usual vigor up to perhaps s tx
months ago. From that date he failed
rapid y. He was tortured terribly by in
somnia and neuralgia and was also at
fiicted with catarrh OF the bladder. He
never fully rallied from the attack and
mind and body wasted away together.
Mr.. Wheeler was born at Malone, N. Y,
June 80, 1919, which would make him al
most 6S years OF age at the time of his
death. He was afforded an academic edu-
cation. Afterward he spent a year or
more as a student in the University OF
Vermont with the class OF 1912. His nat
ural bent was in the direction of law, and
alter two or three years of study in this
branch he began practice He attained
distinction in this calling, and was elected
district attorney OF Franklin county, for
several successive terms. He was mem
Ter of the New York assembly in 1850
and 1851. He was member of the New
York senate and president pro tenn. OF the
same in 1858 and 1859. He was dele
gate to the New York constitution conven-
ton in 1S67-'6S, and was elected presi-
seventh, Forty first, Forty second, Forty.
third and Forty-fourth congresses. In
1876 he was nominated for vice president
by the Republican national convent ton up
on the ticket, the head OF which was Ruth
erford B. Hayes. Through all the contest
which followed that memorable election
Mr.. Wheeler bore himselfwith dignity. Up.
on the close OF his term as vice president
he retired from public life to his home at
Malone, N. Y. He has since suffered do
nestle bereavements, and passed the last
years Of his life in sorrow, loneliness and
frequent i'll health.

Michael Da,itt Takes Big Step in Advance.

London Letter: Michael Davitt's re-
markable declaration at Bodyke was most
unfortunate for the Parnellite party and
himself. Mr.. Dayitt accused himself Of
having weakened the defense of the men Of
Ireland OF their rights and their hearths
by urging them to abstain from commit
ting acts OF violence and to refrain from
breaking the law. and said:
He was heartily ashamed Of himself for
ever having given such advice. He had
found that he was mistaken in supposing
that the submission Of the people of Ire
land to gross injustice would win for them
tho sympathies Of the people Of Great
Britain, and henceiorth no word Of censure

O'Brien Could Not Swallow George and McGlynn


The O'Brien labor demo nstration in New
York was great fizzle. Mr.. O'Brien OBJ.
iected to the gentleman who was to preside
at the meeting, and did not approve OF
the resolutions prepared by the COM
mittee. The committee refused to
change the resolutions till it was
too late and the chairman refused
to resign. Hence Mr.. O'Brien did not at
tend. His absence created much comment
There were about ten thousand paraders.
John McMackin, the presiding officer to
whom Mr.. O'Brien objected, is the chair
man Of the united labor party OF this city.
The objection to him was that he presided
at a meeting few days ago at which P. j..
lyman (No. y spoke. One specific cause
of the trouble was that the labor people
insisted that the cause ofRev. DR.. McGlynn
should be appropriately introduced into
the res solutions to be adopted at the Union
Square meeting, and that Henry George $
land theories should also be advocated.
When 0 Brien looked through the resolu-
tions he erased the McGlynn and Georges
land theory topics, especially that which
spoke OF the persecution OF McGlynn.

GENERAL NEWS NOTES.
Sad Disclosure Of Crime in london. I.

A London cablegram of the 9Th SAYS:
Since the revelation OF the Pail Mall GA
zette and the subsequent passage Of the
criminal law amendment bill, prescribing
severe penalties for the offenses enumerat-
ed, it has been believed by the public that
traffic in children for immoral purposes
were made impossible. The public mind
was rudely awakened, however, to the
realization that though such crimes
may have been curtailed in number, they
are still committed and with very little
pretense OF secrecy. A general sensation
OF horror was produced at the Lambeth
police court recently by a trial in the case
OF Edward Procknell and three women,
charged with keeping disorderly houses
and with procuring scores OF young girls
ranging in age from ten to fourteen
years. The prisoners ard their victims are
all OF humble rank. and the evidence thus
lar taken proves that the seducers of the
children We're also OF the lower class. The
prisoners were remanded for further hear
ing, and will be vigorously prosecuted by
the government. Detective Stevens, who
is in the employ OF the reformatory and
refuge union. was the chief means OF discov-
erins the crimes OF Procknell and the wom-
en-. He stated in the course OF his testi-
mony that during the last four years he
had rescued 400 girls OF from LIZ to Ia
years OF age.
The Most Prominent Milwaukee Doctor Badly
BunkOed.
Milwaukee Special: DR.. o. p. Wolcott is
one OF the best known men in town. He
was accosted by man on the street, who
introduced himself as Ham Dye Of Detroit,
the son OF a prominent Detroit banker and
a very staunch friend OF the doctor. He
stated that a mutual friend OF both
had opened up q real estate
office here, and that he would like
to have the doctor meet him The lat
ter acquiesced and went along into neatly
furnis he'd room on, Broadway. There he
met the real estate man. who, after some
talk put out a whole lot oflottery arrange
nents with all the necessary parapherna-
LA. The 'steerer" began to bet and won.
Gradually the doctor became interested
and won also. No. 80 won SIG, 500,
but the teerer'' didn't have
money enough to pay for the
bet, whereupon the doctor volunteered to
furnish the money. Accordingly DE went
to Nunnemachers bank and drew $4,000
Of his deposit. The .'steerer" had won
800 upon being furnished with the
Sc, 600 and then politely accompanied Mr..
Wolcott down upon the sidewalk, where
he gave him the slip. He lost in all &c.
575 and is half crazy. The 'con'' men
had rented the room for a week, where
they put up a sign as real estate dealers
and have disappeared now.

An Appeal from Michael Dayitt.

The following appeal from Michael Davitt
has been cabled to John Fitzgerald, presi-
dent OF the Irish National League in Ameri-
ca, Patrick Ford and ] ohm Boyle O REILLY,
dated scariff, County Clare June z, 1887:
The work Of DISCRIMINATING our RAGE is
going On daily. I'l. Tic peopis are contesting
every inch OF ground with spirit. Their re-
sistance is admirable but the odds are
terribly against them. The Tory policy OF
eviction and forced emigration we must
resist as one man. The workingmen in
America in their own interest should pro-
test against this pauper labor being forced
upon their market. | would suggest
that a deputation OF the friends Of our
cause and the Knights OF Labor
wait upon the president Of the
United States and invite his attention to
England policy in driving thousands Of
our people every week from Ireland to the
United States. Humanity and enlightened
self interest unite in urging America to ac-
ton in this matter. We want means to
succor the evicted and make some recon-
pense to the imprisoned whosacrifice their
liberty in resistance to injustice. Bodyoke
is fighting the battle OF Ireland.
